Stuffed shirts are found in all such places. Stuffed shirts with a matching tie so tightly knotted around their necks that it constricts their egotistic brains to send out commands to the hands to applaud.

Vinay, i did'nt impress with CNN-IBN awards when i saw first time (accept RK Laxman), but your highly expressive and logical way of puting the point in favour of these awards pushing me to see it once again

Great article, i certainly hope everybody will realise that its the larger convoy that needs to be looked for and appreciated.And hope in future we see many of these people who really make the difference by working at the grass root levels are appreciated and acknowledged. way to go CNNIBN.

Vinay's article is an eye-opener...I watched the award ceremony on television, but was not aware of the facts that Vinay is aware of, so didn't realize this. Vinay has used Arundhati's imagery to present an insider's view of the awards ceremony. It was a touching commentary. It is indeed sad - the direction in which India is moving.
It is people like Vinay, and others at CNN-IBN, who are doing "all that it takes" to show us the right direction and make us move in the right direction. Kudos...

Great write-up, Sir.
Just a little something that bothered me, how do u choose the article when u say "an RK Laxman..." or "a Sreedharan".
Out of curiosity,
Humbly yours,
Mathew
